    1. Gilbert -It will always be a combination of both. Or should I say, it SHOULD, always be a combination of both.

    2. https://aapsonline.org/preliminary-injunction-sought-to-release-hydroxychloroquine-to-the-public/
      Preliminary Injunction Sought to Release Hydroxychloroquine to the Public
      Why does the government continue to withhold more than 60 million doses of HCQ from the public?” asks Jane Orient, M.D., the Executive Director of AAPS. “This potentially life-saving medication is wasting away in government warehouses while Americans are dying from COVID-19.”

  1. Republicans are like the Khmer Rouge. The latter thought glasses were a political threat and the former think masks are. Either way ignorance will lead to a genocide.

    1. @Devo Yeah, cos Texas, Florida, Georgia, Utah, Oklahoma, Arizona, North Carolina and South Carolina are democratic states……

  2. More similar stories soon, Oklahoma and Arizona. Everywhere your Boss goes, those areas will boom in the scientific way. Duh.

  3. Donald Trump, making the US number 1. In all the things you don’t want to be number 1 for…….

  4. I actually find it maddening listening to Trump harp on about how great his testing system is!!

    The US is 22nd in the world for tests per capita. The US has a higher test positivity rate than pretty much any other developed country in the world!

    When is someone going to point this out to him and call out his lies!!!

    1. They won’t because what he says feeds into the “Make America Great”, “Put America First” Americans are exceptional” rhetoric. Finding out that America is not the Paradise that everyone apparently loves and admires and wishes they lived in but a country with faults and flaws is not what people want to hear. Trump feeds into the countries narcissistic tendencies. People say they would rather die than wear a mask.
      I get abused by Americans for sharing that we have had only 103 death in Australia since the start of this Pandemic. That no health workers have died due to lack of PPE and exhaustion. That we followed WHO guidelines and set up a task force years ago based on WHO predictions of a Pandemic. That we are virtually virus free. That America had the same information that every other country had. That 4% of the world population with 25% of the worlds wealth has now about 30% of the world infections that we know of. That the leaders they voted in have betrayed them by being concerned more about money than people.

  5. Endangering people lives for political motives is shameful! I would vote this man out! Stay safe Texas! – Bonnie Robinson

  6. Yep all those protestors……
    Look at the time line ……
    Texas starts opening over a month ago protestors 2 or 3 weeks …🤔

  7. ‘Defiance of science, facts, truth.’

    Correct to a point. It is simpler then that. You can’t fix stupid!

  8. In Dallas County they figured out a way around individual mask wearing. They mandated that businesses require customers to wear masks or the business would be fined.
